Topic: running choppy (Read 4914 times)

Hey I havent played in about 3 1/2 months but turned it on last night and today and I am running choppy. Sometimes worse and sometimes not so bad, but still choppy. Has there been any new update I would have missed and therefore now I have this problem? Thanks.

Could be lots of things...I assume you have Windows? What video card? How much system memory?

The problem could be due to something else on your system besides NWN. Do you have more programs or services running in the background now? What changes have been made on the system in the 3.5 month period?

I dont know how much this matters but I played the game online, then offline, then online. Offline ran just fine, online remained choppy. Narrow down the possibilities any?

Did you run the same things offline and online? I mean...you can't run PotM offline AFAIK. And it uses different texture sets, etc. Assuming you ran the same things offline and online, then yea your test is valid. Looks like a network issue. You are connecting wirelessly or wired? Can you try connecting to the router with an ethernet cable and doing the test again?

I use a wire which plugs into the modem/router. I had not run the same thing, I just started new game on NWN. Im not aware of any upgrades that came out in the time I was gone though.. if I am correct, is there any way to fix this issue? And thank you all very much for the responses.

I'm having the same issue right now. I had to reformat and i've got the same specs now. Before the game ran great, but after the reformat i can't seem to get rid of the chop, I need some suggestions on how to fix the problem.

I'm having a similar problem -- whenever I log in, I get a framerate of about one frame per second, at most. I've cleared the overrides, done two reinstalls, and re-downloaded both the CEP and POTM haks. Nothing solves it.Plus, it's only POTM that does this. Other PWs, the NWN campaigns, and even a custom module made using the hak order from the Item Request Thread all run fine, but POTM runs like pitch through a funnel.

Well I do not believe it is my router anymore. I plugged my computer back into the modem.. though I did not restart my computer when I did, only the modem. Don't know if that matters. Anyone, Im going to be running virius scans and all that good stuff.. the computer in general seems to run slower, when the internet is used in any way. Though I run on a cabel modem sooo... any ideas?

To add to this I am recieving and sending over a million 'packets' as far as my internet connectivity goes.. no clue what that means, but sounds good to my ignorant self.

I would try running the game with the sound disabled as a test. If the chop goes away when you play the game with no sound, you will know it is the cause. If the game plays better, head down to the nearest computer store and buy a sound card. Before you purchase a sound card, check that you have an available slot for the sound card. Installation is easy, and can be accomplished with a Phillips screw driver (magnetic works best).
